SESSIONS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
RN22 Sociology of Risk and Uncertainty aims to provide a forum for debating research on how risks are perceived, constructed, managed, communicated and/or neglected in relation to recent (global) crises and ongoing transformations.
We received 70 submissions and the accepted abstracts went through a thorough review process.
So it looks like we will have a large number of sessions for RN22 as well as 3 Joint sessions.
JS_RN12_RN22_I – Risk and challenges of nuclear energy in the framework of sustainability and environmental change
JS_RN12_RN22_II – Environmental risk perception across Europe,
JS_RN16_RN22 – Algorithms in action: opportunities, risks and perspectives in medicine
Maria Grazia and Bert are busy developing the sessions and information on these sessions will become available on the conference website in mid-June.
The overall schedule is now available here.
Please note the RN22 business meeting will take place at lunchtime on Thursday 29th August. Please note this in your agendas!!
